Back to basics

Recipes: Baked chocolate and orange cheesecake, Quick basil and summer fruit pudding, Pancakes, Baked parkin with roasted rhubarb, Apricot and almond biscotti with limoncello. In the last episode of the series, James got back to basics, demonstrating the simple skills needed for good old-fashioned home-baking. He put a traditional cook up against a 'scientific' one to find out which method made the best cake, before testing them out on the experienced palate of Harrods’s food buyer. The show climaxed with dinner at James’s with his assistant chef Will and some friends.
